ROYAL 

STANDARD  TYPEWRITER 

Whether  you  use  one  machine  or  fifty,  your  typewriter 
equipment  is  an  item  of  EXPENSE. 

Reduce  the  expense,  and  you  increase  your  PROFITS. 

The  Royal  represents  economy  in  more 
ways  than  ONE.  It  costs  less  to  keep  in 
order,  because  it  STAYS  in  order — doesn’t 
waste  time  by  breaking  down  on  a busy 
day.  It  turns  out  MORE  work,  because  it 
is  easier  to  understand,  easier  to  operate, 
and  capable  of  unlimited  speed.  It  does 
BETTER  work,  and  lasts  LONGER,  be- 
cause it  is  simpler,  has  fewer  working  parts, 
and  they  are  made  of  better  materials. 


A ROYAL  IN  YOUR  OFFICE  WILL 
SOON  SAVE  ITS  OWN  COST 

PRICE,  $65.00 

The  right  price  to  pay  for  a high= 
grade  writing  machine.

The  Hotel  St.  Regis,  at  Fifth  Avenue  and  Fifty-fifth  Street,  is  but 
TWO  CITY  BLOCKS  SOUTH  of  the  direct  route  between  Belmont 
Park  and  Manhattan,  and  is  therefore  most  admirably  situated  to  entertain 
visitors  to  the  city  who  are  interested  in  “Aviation  Week.  ’ 

The  Hotel  St.  Regis  is  restful  beyond  all  its  other  features,  and  com- 
bines the  highest  degree  of  hotel  comfort  and  the  homehkeness  and  refine- 
ment of  an  exclusive  private  residence.  Though  conducted  upon  a standard 
equal  in  all  respects  to  the  famous  hotels  of  London  and  Paris,  its  prices 
are  moderate.  Its  restaurant  charges  are  no  higher  than  those  of  other  first 
class  hotels,  and  rooms  may  be  had  at  $3  and  $4  a day  for  a large, 
handsomely  furnished  single  bedroom;  the  same  with  private  bath  for  $3 
a day  (or  $6  for  two  people);  or  $12  a day  and  up  for  an  elegant  suite 
consisting  of  parlor,  bedroom  and  private  bath. 

Reservations  for  rooms  or  tables  in  restaurant  may  be  made  by  tele-

QUALITY 

EFFICIENCY  REUABIUTY 


'T1  HE  same  organization  of  magneto  experts 
which  has  been  producing,  ever  since  the  first 
days  of  automobiling,  Simms  Magnetos  for  Auto- 
mobiles, motor-cycle?,  motor  boats,  commercial  ve- 
hicles and  stationary  motors — and  made  them  supe- 
rior to  all  other  magnetos — has  also  developed  a 
more  Efficient  and  Reliable  Aero-Type. 

T>  Y using  a special  metal  for  certain  parts  of  this 
■“""magneto,  the  weight  has  been  materially  reduced 
without  sacrificing  in  the  slightest  degree  the  vital 
elements  of  strength  and  safety. 

f | 'HE  Simms  Aero-Type  Magneto  is  used  and 
highly  endorsed  by  the  most  famous  European 
aviators.  Read  this  testimonial  from  Mr.  J.  T C. 
Moore-Brabazon,  winner  of  this  year’s  Michelin 
Cup. 

‘I  have  pleasure  in  stating  that  my  aero- 
plane, which  won  the  Michelin  Cup, 
was  fitted  with  your  magneto,  which 
has  never  given  the  very  slightest 
trouble.  ’ ’

Two  Time  Winner  of  the 

Vanderbilt  Cup 


The  same  identical  stock  chassis,  driven  by  Harry  Grant,  won  the  race  in  1909 
and  1910.  The  brand  of  the  technical  committee  proves  this.  It  didn’t  “come 
back.”  It  stayed. 

With  other  makes  (some  specially  built  for  the  race)  working  in  teams  of  two 
or  three  cars,  and  virtually  relayed  against  it,  this  lone  entry  beat  them  all  and 
made  a faster  average  time  than  ever  was  made  in  any  long  distance  road  race 
in  America,  even  by  the  special  racing  machines  of  120-horsepower  in  the  Grand 
Prize — 278.08  miles  in  an  average  of  65.16  miles  an  hour. 

AN  UNPRECEDENTED  PERFORMANCE  BY  AN  UNPRECEDENTED  CAR 

It  was  a last  year  car,  yes,  but  what  did  the  trick  was  the  same  exclusive  ALCO 
steel  and  iron  of  vanadium  alloy,  ALCO  distinctive  heat-treating  processes  and 
ALCO  construction  methods  that  are  embodied  in  all  models.  The  hood  was  never 
lifted  and  the  engine  never  “missed.”  When  no  stop  was  made  for  tires  or 
supplies,  the  laps  were  rolled  od  with  only  eighteen  seconds  maximum  variation.

Facts  About 

GRAND  PIANOS 

AREAL  GRAND  PIANO  is  a musical  instrument  of 
orchestral  character,  NOT  A MERE  SHAPE,  that 
can  be  reduced  to  any  size.  The  desire  of  so  many  to  have 
a grand  piano  has  induced  most  makers  to  produce  tiny 
“grands” — so  little  that  they  serve  only  to  accent  the  value 
of  the  upright.  The  size  of  these  pianos  is  a concession  to 
convenience  and  fashion — a fad — that  does  not  consider  mu- 
sical effect.  When  a piano  is  less  than  5 feet  10  inches 
in  length  it  ceases  to  be  a grand  piano — it  is  an  arrested 
development — it  is  only  a pretty  piece  of  furniture. 

THE  STEINWAY 
MINIATURE  GRAND 

“The  Smallest  Grand  That’s  Safe  to  Buy” 

has  all  the  characteristics  of  our  great  concert  grands,  in 
modified  volume.  It  is  a REAL  GRAND  PIANO;  it 
occupies  a distinctive  position  between  the  uprights  and  the 
larger  grands;  there  is  a scientific  reason  for  its  size, 
5 feet  10  inches.  Come  in  and  hear  it — you  will  then 
know  why  we  make  nothing  smaller  in  a grand  piano.

METHOD  OF  ANNOUNCING  PROGRESS  AND 
RESULTS  OF  EVENTS 

EXPLANATION  OF  CODES  AND  SIGNALS 


The  progress  and  results  of  events  on 
the  daily  program  will  be  announced  on 
the  display  board  opposite  the  Grand 
Stand.  This  board  is  divided  in  two  parts 
by  a broad,  white,  vertical  line,  six  inches 
in  width.  The  part  of  the  board  to  the 
left  of  this  line  will  be  used  for  indicating 
the  progress  and  results  of  the  hourly  dis- 
tance, the  hourly  altitude,  the  cross  country, 
the  passenger  carrying  and  the  cross  coun- 
try passenger  carrying  events.  The  part  of 
the  board  to  the  right  of  this  line  will  be 
used  to  indicate  the  progress  and  results  of 
the  Gordon-Bennett  cup,  the  Gordon-Ben- 
nett  elimination,  the  grand  speed,  and  the 
kilometer  straight-away  events. 

It  is  to  be  observed  that  all  events,  ex- 
cept the  Gordon-Bennett  elimination,  the 
Gordon-Bennett  cup  and  the  cross  country 
events  will  be  on  the  2,500  meter  course 
and  the  first  two  mentioned  will  take  place 
on  the  5,000  meter  course. 

In  order  to  indicate  the  progress  and  re- 
sults of  the  various  events  a code  of  letters, 
numbers  and  forms  will  be  used:  The  forms 
to  indicate  events ; the  letters  for  general 
code  use  and  the  numbers  to  identify 


aviators  and  to  give  time  in  hours,  minutes, 
seconds  and  fifths,  and  altitudes.  With  re- 
gard to  altitudes  it  is  to  be  specially  noted 
that  all  numbers  shown  on  the  board  must 
be  multiplied  by  ten  to  give  the  altitude  in 
feet.  Each  column  is  read  from  the  top 
vertically  downward. 

As  soon  as  an  aviator  crosses  the  start- 
ing line  in  full  flight  his  number  will  be 
put  up  in  its  proper  place  on  the  board 
under  the  event  in  which  he  is  competing. 

The  following  examples  will  indicate  the 
use  of  the  board  and  the  code.  In  figure  1 
the  red  pennant  indicates  that  flying  is  in 
progress.  The  letters  AB  signify  that  the 
letters  KO  are  taken  from  the  general  code. 
Turning  to  the  general  code,  KO  indicates 
a wind  from  1 0 to  15  miles  per  hour.  The 
form  displayed  in  the  next  column  shows 
that  an  hourly  distance  event  is  in  prog- 
ress. Referring  to  the  general  code  the 
letters  BC  and  CD  mean  aviator’s  number 
and  number  of  laps,  the  display  signifying 
that  aviator  No.  4 has  made  7 laps  on 
the  2,500  meter  course;  aviator  No.  6,  6 
laps;  aviator  No.  9,  3 laps  and  aviator 
No.  2 has  crossed  the  starting  line  but  has 


FIG.  I 

31 


INTERNATIONAL  AVIATION  PROGRAMME , 1910 


FIG.  2 


not  completed  the  first  lap.  The  triangle 
at  the  head  of  the  next  column  indicates 
an  hourly  altitude  event  and  the  column 
headed  BC  shows  that  aviators  Nos.  3,  7, 
8 and  1 1 are  in  the  air  competing  for  the 
hourly  altitude  prize.  The  lower  part  of 
the  board  reads  as  follows:  In  the  first  hour- 
ly distance  event,  aviator  No.  5 wins  with 
20  laps  or  31.07  miles;  aviator  No.  1 is 
second  with  17  laps  or  26.41  miles  and 
aviator  No.  1 2 is  third  with  1 6 laps  or 
24.85  miles.  In  the  first  hourly  altitude 
event  the  results  are  as  follows:  Aviator 
No.  10  first  with  an  altitude  of  4,270  feet, 
aviator  No.  15  second,  with  3,910  feet, 
and  aviator  No.  14  third  with  3,120  feet. 

Figure  No.  2 indicates  that  in  the  Gor- 
don-Bennett  elimination  event  aviator  No.  3 
has  made  1 7 laps  or  52.82  miles  in  1 
hour,  2 minutes,  14  3-5  seconds;  aviator 
No.  2,  14  laps  or  43.49  miles  in  58  min- 
utes, 31  1-5  seconds;  aviator  No.  9,  5 
laps  or  15.53  miles  in  24  minutes,  27  4-5 
seconds;  aviator  No.  1 6,  1 0 laps  or  31  .07 
miles  in  32  minutes,  19  seconds;  aviator 
No.  12,  9 laps  or  27.96  miles  in  24  min- 
utes, 48  2-5  seconds;  aviator  No.  14,  6 
laps  or  18.64  miles  in  15  minutes,  17  1-5 
seconds  and  aviator  No.  6 has  started  but 
not  completed  his  first  lap. 

Table  No.  1 on  page  36  gives  the  dis- 


tance in  kilometers  and  miles  for  any  num- 
ber of  laps  from  1 to  20  on  the  2,500 
meter  course  and  table  No.  2 on  page  36 
the  same  data  for  the  5,000  meter  course; 
table  No.  3 on  page  36  shows  the  speed 
in  miles  per  hour  for  one  lap  made  in  the 
tabular  time. 

To  find  the  speed  at  which  an  aviator 
is  traveling  when  the  time  of  making  one 
lap  is  not  given  in  the  table,  take  the  time 
of  one  lap  by  a stop  watch  and  reduce  the 
seconds  and  fractions  thereof  to  the  decimal 
part  of  a minute;  add  this  to  the  number  of 
minutes  and  divide  93  by  the  result.  The 
quotient  will  be  the  speed  in  miles  per  hour 
on  the  2,500  meter  course.  The  quotient 
arising  from  dividing  1 86  by  the  time  of 
one  lap  expressed  in  minutes  and  decimals 
thereof  will  give  the  speed  in  miles  per 
hour  on  the  5,000  meter  course. 

For  example,  suppose  an  aviator  makes 
one  lap  on  the  2,500  meter  course  in  1 
minute,  52  3-5  seconds,  at  what  rate  of 
speed  is  he  traveling?  One  minute,  fifty- 
two  and  three-fifth  seconds  is  equal  to  1.88 
minutes  and  dividing  93  by  1.88  the  re- 
sult is  49.47  miles  per  hour.  If  an  aviator

You  may  ride  on  air  but  cannot 
depend  on  it  for  safety. 

BOLTS  ARE  sure — air  escapes.  Use  equip- 
ment that  stays  on  whether  the  tire  is  filled  or  flat. 

WHEN  YOU  buy  a car  you  examine  the  en- 
gine, the  steering  apparatus,  the  style  of  the 
body,  even  the  color,  but  very  likely  take  any 
tire  offered. 

YET  NO  car  is  stronger  than  its  tires.  They 
determine  the  pleasure,  the  convenience,  the 
speed,  and,  most  of  all,  the  safety  you  can 
count  on.

THE  AGE  OF  AIR 


TO  fly  has  been  man’s  dream  through 
the  ages. 

Myths  of  all  races  tell  of  winged  gods 
and  flying  men.  Babylonian  lore  reveals 
how  Etana,  on  an  eagle,  flew  to  the  Sun 
God,  up  to  the  Sky  of  the  Planets.  There 
is  the  flight  of  the  mythical  Greek  priest, 
Abaris,  on  a magic  arrow;  and  the  Ger- 
manic legend  of  Wieland  the  Smith  who 
made  a “wing-dress’’  in  which  he  “rose 
and  descended  against  the  wind.”  Bladud, 
king  of  ancient  Britain,  adopted  wings, 
only  to  fall  and  break  his  neck.  The  lore 
of  China  and  Japan  is  full  of  flying  men. 
A giant  gull  told  Ayatac,  a Kriss  Indian, 
the  secret  of  how  to  fly,  with  the  warning: 
“Do  not  break  the  bones  of  my  wings,” 
but  “Ayatac’s  strength  failed  and  his  bird 
became  paralyzed.”  A Peruvian  myth  re- 
lates that  Ayar  Utso,  a chieftain,  grew 
wings,  and  visited  the  Sun.  Kibago,  the 
flying  warrior  of  Nakivingi,  African  king 
of  Wanyoro,  was  sent  aloft  to  “scout  the 
enemy”  and  “from  the  air,  hurled  rocks  on 
their  enemies.”  Polynesia  and  New  Zea- 
land have  their  curious  legends  of  flight. 

All  this  grips  the  fancy,  now  that  flying 
has  become  only  the  sorcery  of  engineer- 
ing. Yet  for  centuries,  science  beheld  the 
flight  of  living  things  without  once  giving 
a clew  to  how  it  could  be  done.  But  later 
legends  did.  These  anticipated  the  achieve- 
ment of  to-day.  There  is  a breath  of  the 
Twentieth  Century  in  the  Kalmuck  fairy 
tale  about  a “wonder-bird,”  with  a body 
like  a boat,  which  held  a man,  who  steered 
the  machine  up  or  down  or  sideways. 
This  is  the  first  monoplane.  Men  read  the 
legends  and  began  making  machines.  Sir 
George  Cayley,  in  1 843,  wrote  that  in 
1810,  English  inventors  of  flying  machines 
glided  from  high  h ills,  for  great  distances 
in  calm  weather.  These  pioneer  aeroplanes 
balanced  their  sides  by  a two-faced  angle, 
and  by  carrying  the  man  low  in  the  center 
of  gravity.  The  fore  and  aft  balance  was 
kept  by  a movable  horizontal  and  vertical 
rudder.  But  the  secret  of  flying  was  not 
discovered ; the  inventors  were  discredited 
and  their  work  was  forgotten. 

Hope  of  flying  was  revived  forty  years 
ago,  when  Herr  Wilhelm  Kress,  of  Vienna, 
devised  models  driven  by  twisted  rubber. 


He  flew  them  in  the  wind.  Then  he  set 
about  making  a man-carrying  aeroplane; 
but  the  motor  was  twice  as  heavy  as  he 
asked  for.  His  funds  gave  out  and  his 
dream  ended.  But  the  same  ambition  pos- 
sessed the  French  experimenters  Tatin,  Pe- 
naud  and  Ader,  between  1870  and  1873. 
Penaud’s  small  rubber-driven  models  flew 
for  short  distances.  Tatin  built  larger  mod- 
els, one  being  driven  by  compressed  air, 
but  held  by  a string  to  a pole,  flew  only  in 
a circle.  With  a still  heavier  machine,  he 
achieved  a flight  of  20C  yards,  without 
balancing.  Lawrence  Hargrave,  of  Syd- 
ney, Australia,  made  the  first  models  that 
flew  freely  over  considerable  distances. 
They  were  driven  by  compressed  air  and 
steam.  During  these  experiments,  he  in- 
vented the  famous  box-kite,  which  after- 
ward played  its  part  in  the  French  Voison 
machine.  All  these  earlier  devices  flew, 
but  failed  to  balance.  The  secret  remained 
with  the  bird. 

Sir  Hiram  Maxim,  in  1 893,  undertook 
the  first  bold  attempt  to  conquer  the  air, 
by  building  a massive  machine  that  was  to 
carry  three  men.  It  weighed  four  tons  and 
had  supporting  planes  of  4,000  square  feet. 
A steam  engine  of  363  H.P.  drove  two 
screws,  1 7 feet  and  I 0 inches  in  diameter. 
At  a speed  of  36  miles  an  hour,  it  launched 
from  steel  rails  and  was  sustained  by  the 
air;  but  the  lifting  effort  was  so  great  that 
the  rear  axle  trees  were  doubled  up.  When 
steam  was  shut  off,  the  huge  machine 
dropped  to  the  ground  and  was  broken  into 
fragments.  Maxim’s  machine  was  too 
large  for  its  time.  Men  did  not  yet  know 
how  to  manage  aeroplanes.  But  his  work 
pointed  the  way.  In  1 896,  Professor 
Samuel  P.  Langley,  Secretary  of  the  Smith- 
sonian Institution,  aided  by  Charles  M. 
Manley  of  New  York,  went  farthest  in 
working  out  automatic  balance,  for  large 
and  heavy  models,  propelled  by  steam  and 
gasolene.  To  maintain  their  balance,  he 
used,  for  the  first  time,  a flexibly  connected 
tail,  invented  by  A.  M.  Herring,  of  New 
York.  On  October  7th  and  December  8th, 
1903,  these  models  kept  in  the  air  until 
their  fuel  was  exhausted,  and  they  settled 
on  the  ground,  without  damage.  The 
model,  driven  by  gasolene,  was  so  well

INTERNATIONAL  AVIATION  PROGRAMME,  1910 


balanced  that  it  kept  its  equilibrium  in  a 
wind  of  1 1 miles  an  hour,  more  than  many 
aviators  are  able  to  do.  Professor  Langley 
is  now  recognized  as  the  first  experimenter 
to  obtain  accurate  engineering  data  on  the 
lifting  power  of  aeroplanes.  But  man,  him- 
self, had  not  yet  flown. 

Otto  Lilienthal,  a German  engineer  of 
great  talent,  in  1895,  built  a single  spread 
of  wings,  with  which  he  made  the  first 
practical  gliding  flights  in  the  wind.  He 
proved  that  a skilful  flyer  could  balance  a 
machine,  by  his  own  efforts.  This  is  the 
method  by  which  present  aeroplanes  are 
controlled.  Still,  if  it  had  not  been  for 
birds,  bats  and  insects,  the  mind  would 
hardly  have  solved  the  secret  of  real  flight. 
The  naturalist,  Morey,  had  analysed  all 
phases  of  wing’s  motion,  shown  by  in- 
stantaneous photography.  But  Morey  was 
not  able  to  explain  bird-flight,  from  an  en- 
gineer’s point  of  view.  Lilienthal,  the  en- 
gineer, gave  the  first  clear  engineering  ex- 
planation of  the  bird’s  art.  This  helped 
him  to  discover  the  first  importance  of  an 
aeroplane’s  profile  line.  His  many  ex- 
periments in  the  laboratory  went  far  to- 
ward pointing  out  the  efficient  angle  of  fly- 
ing surfaces.  Before  he  met  his  death,  in 
one  of  his  gliding  experiments,  he  had  de- 
signed a two-surface  machine. 

In  1 896,  Octave  Chanute,  an  engineer, 
assisted  by  A.  M.  Herring,  experimented 
with  the  first,  full-sized  flying  machines 
with  two  surfaces,  the  type  of  the  present 
biplane.  Chanute,  being  a builder  of 
bridges,  trussed  two  surfaces  together,  to 
obtain  strength  and  stiffness.  Later,  he 
used  the  upright  posts  and  diagonal  ties, 
known  as  the  “Pratt  truss.”  Herring  de- 
vised an  elastic  attachment  for  the  tail. 
Over  700  glides  were  made  with  this  ma- 
chine, at  descending  angles  of  8 to  10  de- 
grees. This  has  become  known  to  the 
world  as  the  “Chanute  type”  of  glider, 
which  has  been  improved  by  the  Wrights. 
They  discarded  the  bird’s  tail  as  an  ap- 
pendage, placing  a rudder  in  front,  and  de- 
vised a method  of  warping  the  wings  to 
give  equilibrium. 

The  only  successful  pioneers  are  the 
Brothers  Wright.  More  practical  in  their 
ingenuity,  more  patient  and  more  resolute — 
typical  Yankees,  they  took  up  Lilienthal, 
and  while  realizing  the  value  of  his  work, 


quickly  found  wherein  he  was  wrong.  They 
knew  of  the  Chanute  experiments  with  the 
gliders,  and  built  a very  similar  machine. 
But  they  were  not  lured  by  the  “siren”  of 
automatic  balance.  They  went  after  some- 
thing less  wonderful,  but  far  more  prac- 
tical. Taking  up  gliding,  no  effort  was 
wasted  on  developing  automatic  wonders ; 
but  disregarding  promising  achievements  in 
that  direction,  they  set  out  with  great  de- 
termination, to  improve  Lilienthal’s  and 
Chanute’s  control  by  the  operator.  They 
actually  solved  this  problem  of  control  with 
their  glider  long  before  an  engine  was 
mounted  on  it.  This  glider  has  a highly 
efficient  carrying-power  of  wing-profile;  it 
was  staunch  in  construction,  and  perfect  of 
control.  It  became  a good  flyer  the  mo- 
ment power  was  applied.  But  they  had 
already  spent  years  in  learning  the  present 
aviator’s  art  of  flying.  It  was  very  slow 
work,  since  there  was  no  one  to  teach  them. 
All  later  aviators  have  learned  more  or  less 
from  them. 

Santos-Dumont,  Farman,  Bleriot  and 
Delagrange  were  of  the  new  flying  school. 
They  started  with  comparatively  high- 
powered  machines,  with  which  they  flew 
with  less  art  than  was  required  to  keep  a 
low-power  Wright  machine  in  the  air.  But 
these  French  machines  were  not  efficiently 
developed,  by  training  in  gliding. 

Their  present  perfection  was  attained, 
only  after  Wilbur  Wright,  during  his  flight 
in  France,  had  shown  the  way,  by  his  art, 
and  his  method  of  side  control.  This  has 
been  imitated  more  or  less  in  all  the  other 
machines.  The  present  Bleriot  monoplane 
was  never  safe  until  after  ailerons  were 
used  on  the  wing-tips.  Out  of  this  Amer- 
ican evolution  of  the  flying  machine,  has 
come  the  remarkable  advance  in  flying,  that 
the  enthusiastic  French  have  developed. 

But  aside  from  the  wonderful  speed  pro- 
duced by  the  monoplane,  an  American 
aeroplane  driven  by  Glenn  H.  Curtiss,  last 
year,  at  Rheims  captured  the  speed  trophy 
of  the  world.  This  victory  brought  the 
contest  to  these  shores,  where  it  may  be 
proven  whether  a monoplane,  driven  at  the 
terrific  speed  these  machines  are  capable  of 
achieving,  can  turn  sharply  enough  around 
sudden  corners  of  the  course,  to  snatch  vic- 
tory from  the  more  staTIe  biplane,  with  its 
ampler  surfaces.  T.  R.  MacMechEN.

“NEW  YORK’S  PLAYGROUND” 

Because  of  the  wide  expanse  of  suitable  land  available  and  used  and  its 
nearness  to  New  York  City,  this  name  has  been  applied  to  Long  Island  by 
those  who  find  within  its  ocean  and  sound-bounded  shores  opportunities 
unequalled  for  the  promotion  and  carrying-out  of  every  form  of  sport.  Long 
Island  is  the  birthplace  of  practically  all  modern-day  American  sporting 
events,  among  which  are  the  following: 

INTERNATIONAL  AVIATION  TOURNAMENT.  The  Aero  Club  of  America  have  found 
ideal  conditions  on  Lon  r Island  for  the  furtherance  of  aviation  and  have  elected  to  hold  the  Inter- 
national Tournament,  the  first  meet  of  the  kind  to  be  held  in  this  country,  on  Long  Island, 
selecting  it  in  preference  to  any  other  locality  in  the  United  States. 

NATIONAL  GOLF  COURSE.  The  National  Golf  Association  has  chosen  the  strangely  beautiful 
Shinnecock  Hills  for  the  official  course.  Situated  between  the  Atlantic  Ocean  and  the  Peccnic  Bay. 
there  exists  no  other  such  expanse  of  tree-less  breeze-cooled  rolling  hills,  and  the  selection  was 
not  made  without  considering  every  other  available  spot. 

LONG  ISLAND  MOTOR  PARKWAY.  This  beautiful  course,  built  over  level  stretches  and 
forest  crowned  slopes,  to  accommodate  automobiles  exclusively,  eliminating  grade  crossings  and 
abolishing  the  speed  limit,  makes  further  claim  for  Long  Island  to  the  title  of  "The  Automobilists' 
Paradise.’’  For  several  years  the  Vanderbilt  Cup  Race  has  been  run  over  this  Parkway  and  the 
Nassau  County  Roads. 

Upon  the  shores  of  the  sound,  and  its  picturesque  bays  are  charming  sites 
for  cottage  homes,  costly  villas  or  grand  estates.  Nowhere  in  the  vicinity 
of  New  York  City  are  there  so  many  grand  estates  of  New  York’s  well- 
known  people  as  are  to  be  found  on  Long  Island. 

All  points  on  Long  Island  are  served  by  the  excellent  train  service  of  the 
Long  Island  Railroad,  direct  from  the  Pennsylvania  Station,  32d  Street  and 
7th  Avenue,  New  York

ORIENTAL  RUGS 

C Good  oriental  rugs  sell  for  much  less  in  Boston 
than  they  do  in  New  York,  and  poor  ones  are 
much  more  difficult  to  dispose  of.  The  Yankees 
are  the  keenest  of  critics  and  the  shrewdest  of 
buyers. 

C.  At  our  branch  store  in  New  York  we  sell  the 
same  high-grade  oriental  rugs  which  are  de- 
manded by  the  Boston  trade,  and  at  identically 
the  same  prices. 

c The  illustration  is  one  of  thirty  in  our  book 
“Oriental  Rugs.”  The  copy  in  the  Boston 
Public  Library  has  been  used  so  constantly  that 
it  has  had  to  be  rebound.  The  price,  50  cents, 
covers  merely  the  cost  of  printing  and  postage. 
Let  us  send  you  a copy.

“Greater  than  the  Aeroplane” 

Man’s  mastery  of  the  air  is  the 
greatest  achievement  of  the  century. 

The  whole  world  bows  to  honor 
the  skill,  the  genius,  the  daring  of 
those  who  have  solved  the  prob- 
lems of  aerial  navigation. 

Air  has  been  brought  under 
control  for  your  sport  and  pleasure, 
but  more  important  still,  it  has 
been  harnessed  for  your  comfort, 
health  and  happiness,  for  a still 
greater  conquest  of  the  air  is  seen 
in  the  wonderful  performance  of  the 


Vacuum  Cleaner 

It  has  taken  more  years,  more  money,  and  more  daring  in  the  field  of 
pneumatics  to  develop  a perfect  vacuum  cleaner  than  it  has  to  perfect  the 
Aeroplane. 

With  the  SANTO,  you  harness  the  air  for  your  use  every  day.  It 
makes  the  home  or  place  of  business  clean,  dustless  and  sanitary — a safe 
place  in  which  to  live  or  work. 

The  drudgery  of  cleaning  is  overcome, 
dangers  from  infectious  disease  germs  in 
dust  and  dirt  quickly  disappear. 

The  SANTO  is  quiet  running,  portable 
and  simple — easily  used  by  anyone.  It  is 
complete  with  equipment  for  20  different 
cleaning  purposes  and  sold  under  a perpet- 
ual guarantee. 

The  SANTO  is  everywhere  recognized 
as  the  last  word  in  vacuum  cleaners.

You  can’t  be  SAFE  in  your  aero- 
plane unless  you  are  clothed 
properly.  ABOUT  right  WONT  do. 


We  equipped  Glenn  Curtiss  for  his  flight  from 
Albany  to  Manhattan  and  made  his  record- 
breaking  performance  possible.  This  is  literally 
true.  Mr.  Curtiss  came  into  our  place  weeks 
before  the  flight  and  examined  in  minute  detail 
our  aviation  clothing  equipment  from  the  stand- 
point of  warmth,  lightness,  its  wind-proof  quali- 
ty, pliability  and  waterproofing  as  well  as  the 
qualities  of  fit  and  style. 

On  these  utilitarian  features  the  very  life  of 
the  aviator  depends.  A penetrating  wind  may 
so  chill  the  aviator  that  his  control  is  lessened. 
This  means  disaster — not  perhaps — but  SURE. 
And  a penetrating  wind  may  be  encountered 
any  moment — no  matter  how  warm  the  day. 

The  aviator’s  clothing  must  be  waterproof  for 
the  same  reason.  It  must  be,  above  all  things, 
warm — all  the  time — it  must  be  so  built  that  it 
will  KEEP  the  wearer  warm  under  any  con- 
dition. 

It  is  easy  to  produce  these  qualities  by  mere 
bulk  of  fabric.  But  bulk  of  fabric  WON’T 
DO.  The  fabric  must  be  very  light,  very  pli- 
able so  as  not  to  hamper  the  quickest  or  slight- 
est movement  in  the  faintest  degree.  We  have 
achieved  this  in  our  clothing  for  aviators.  No 
one  else  has.  That  is  why  we  build  clothing 
for  the  aviators  whose  names  are  household 
words  to  you — -whose  names  MEAN  aviation. 

Aviation  is  the  correct  thing  nowadays.  It 
has  developed  an  etiquette  all  its  own — a style 
distinctive,  individual  and  most  pleasing.  Gar- 
ments for  aviation  must  possess  these  same  quali- 
ties or  be  unsuitable — undesirable.  Our  gar- 


ments do  possess  this  quality.  They  are  not 
patterned  after  a hybrid  combination  of  earth 
sports.  They  are  developed  by  clothing  artists 
from  a foundation  of  utility,  provided  by  the 
foremost  aviators  of  Europe  and  America.  It 
cost  us  more  to  find  out  WHAT  the  real  avia- 
tors had  to  have — what  the  sum  total  of  their 
experiences  showed  to  be  necessary,  than  we 
shall  get  back  from  this  department  in  this  year 
and  the  next  two  years. 

We  are  repaid  by  the  knowledge  that  WE 
have  the  right  thing  for  every  purpose  and  that 
NO  ONE  ELSE  has.  We  have  worked 
WITH  the  big  aviators,  not  merely  FOR  them, 
in  developing  the  air-clothing  that  is  STAND- 
ARD to-day. 

Perhaps  you  can  get  good  looking  air-cloth- 
ing elsewhere.  But  will  it  be  SAFE?  Ours 
is.  Perhaps  you  can  get  SAFE  air-clothing 
elsewhere,  but  will  it  be  in  the  mode — the  style 
— will  it  be  the  correct  thing?  Ours  is.  You 
can  be  as  attractively  clothed  in  flying,  as  in 
motoring.  We  do  it.  And  our  air-clothing 
insures  that  you  will  have  EVERY  factor  of 
safety  which  clothing  can  provide. 

Of  course  we  have  every  instrument  and 
every  accessory  which  the  sport  of  aviation  has 
developed.  W e can  fit  you  out  with  every- 
thing except  the  aeroplane  and  everything  we 
sell  you  will  be  exactly  the  right  thing  for  the 
purpose — not  nearly  right,  but  exactly  right. 
When  the  big  aviators  want  an  outfit — cap-a- 
pied — they  come  to  us.  V e would  like  to 
have  you  come  too.
